“We’re always trying to make it bigger and better every year,” festival spokesman Matt Lorz told the newspaper. “There’s something for everybody.”

Well, almost everybody. In January, female bodybuilder Beth Mandyck, of Rochester, N.Y., filed a gender discrimination complaint against the event’s organizers, noting that female bodybuilding events have not been on the schedule since 2013.

“I was aghast that there was no women’s bodybuilding,” she told the Dispatch. “If there’s a category for men, why can’t there be a category for women?”

"I was aghast that there was no women’s bodybuilding. If there’s a category for men, why can’t there be a category for women?”

But the men’s competitions have remained popular enough that the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness holds similar festivals in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and South America – with Seoul, South Korea, joining the list this year, the newspaper reported.

But will Schwarzenegger himself show up? It’s very possible, Lorz said.

“He’s always mingling with the fans, going through the expo, stopping through,” Lorz said. “It’s tough in three days to get through 77 events, but he tries.”
